-
- try setting the MacVolumes environment variable to point to your B:
- drive before running Executor, as:
-
- % export MacVolumes="/dev/fd1"
-
- Or reverse the device entries for your two drives temporarily:
-
- # cd /dev
- # mv fd1 temp
- # mv fd0 fd1
- # mv temp fd0
-
- I haven't actually verified that these work, since my computers all
- have only 3.5" floppies. A measure of last resort would be to swap
- the ribbon-cable attachment points for the drives in your machine (and
- adjust CMOS Setup accordingly).
